Greene was dominating last year before he got hurt, hopefully the Colts get infected with a strong strain of Gang Greene. The key is to keep Manning of the field, that being said the chicanary worked well against them last year.
I, for some reason, have a good feeling about the gameplan Schitt spins together inside the dome. If we establish the ground game, the play-action will open things up big time for MS.
Shotty has called *great* games in our last two meaningful ones (PIT/CHI). As far as I'm concerned, he's earned the keys. Let him drive the f***in' thing. That said, running the ball 25+ times is absolutely critical, IMO.
I'd throw Buffalo in there, I mean we basically played the JV squad against them. As I said, I may have jumped the gun a litle early, he might have been implying staying away from Tendencies, rather than getting back to that lunacy.
We'll be fine on offense. Especially if Sanchez doesn't have to throw it 40 times. Its the defense that is the big concern. Keep Manning on the sidelines with long drives, get in his face, tip some passes, throw in a ST big play or two and we've got ourselves a great chance. I'd like to see some low-risk short passes to Holmes to get him the ball and let him make a play with his legs. Either way, this game is going to come down to the last few minutes.
I think that is more passing on 1st down when they expect run. I would expect Indy to load up early to slow down our running game, we should have early opportunities to make some big plays through the air before the game setlles down and we can establish Greene and co.
